Ugandans who need organ transplants will soon no longer have to travel abroad, thanks to a new law allowing the procedure in the country. Kidney patients are currently the biggest group in need of transplants in Uganda. The new law will clear the way for transplantation centers and a national waiting list of organ recipients to be created, but it also contains stringent measures in case of organ trafficking or abuse of donors' rights. Does your country allow organ transplants?

2023: God hasn’t shown me Nigeria’s next President – Kumuyi

The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi has said that he has not received any revelation from God regarding who Nigeria’s next president would be.

He however promised to make it known once he receives from God who Nigeria’s next President would be. Kumuyi states this when he spoke with journalists in Minna during at the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) with the theme: God of All Possibilities” on Saturday.

“I cannot tell you a lie. God has not shown me anything. He has not found it fit to tell me. He does not tell everybody, everything. Who am I to tell God, why haven’t you told me about the next President? When he tells me, I will come and tell you.”

The General Superintendent said only dialogue would resolve the impasse between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal government and take the students back to school adding that going to court, issuing threats and having series of protests is not the solution.

“The university needs to look at what the government is saying, what is their abilities, what can they do while the government should look at what ASUU is saying, what are they asking for, their rights and how to meet that right. What is needed in this case is to look at how they can adjust to each other and look for ways of fulfilling it,” he said.

Buhari: Nigeria may become world’s 14th fastest growing economy

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Nigeria is on course to take her rightful place in the global economy.

He stated that a report by PriceWaterhouse Coopers shows that Nigeria could become World’s 14th fastest growing economy in the next 28 years.

Already, he said, Nigeria with a population of 200 million has the largest economy in Africa with over $400 billion in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

He spoke at the Nigeria International Economic Partnership Forum, one of the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). in New York, the United States yesterday.

The President also highlighted the gains of his administration’s investment in the security and energy sectors as well as Nigeria’s National Development Plan (2021 - 2025). He said the development plan would help to generate 21 million full-time jobs and lift 35 million Nigerians out of poverty by 2025.

Buhari, who was represented by his Chief of Staff Ibrahim Gambari, assured that the projection by PriceWaterhouse Coopers’s report was achievable going by the fact that Nigeria is presently experiencing economic growth driven mostly by the non-oil sector.

Buhari explained to the participants who were mostly investors and Nigeria’s financial partners, that the current economic growth gives credence to the diversification of the nation’s revenue base by his administration.

His words: “According to PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Nigeria could be the fastest growing African economy by 2050, and could move up the global GDP ratings to 14th in the same year, provided we succeed in our efforts to diversify Nigeria’s economy away from oil and strengthen its institutions and infrastructure.

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global growth to slow from an estimated 6.1 percent in 2021 to 3.6 percent in 2022 and 2023.

“For our economy, we recorded quarterly GDP growth in Q1 2022. The growth has been mostly driven by the non

Buhari Begs United Nations General Assembly For Debt Cancellation For Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari says free, fair and credible elections are the foundation of political stability and peace in any nation, assuring that he will leave a legacy of free and fair elections.

The President made this known in his last address before world leaders at the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the United States.

The President also called for debt cancellation for developing countries, noting that it poses “severe challenges” to the affected nations.

“Indeed, the multifaceted challenges facing most developing countries have placed a debilitating chokehold on their fiscal space,” he said.

“This equally calls for the need to address the burden of unsustainable external debt by a global commitment to the expansion and extension of the Debt Service Suspension Initiative to countries facing fiscal and liquidity challenges as well as outright cancellation for countries facing the most severe challenges.”

Seven reasons to avoid eating Ponmo

By Alao Abiodun

Animal hides, locally known as ponmo, in Yoruba and kanda in Igbo is a popular supplement in soups enjoyed by many Nigerians.

Many Nigerians are simply at home with ponmo consumption but the recent announcement by the Federal Government proposing legislation to ban the consumption of animal skin to revive the comatose leather industry has sparked mixed reactions.

In July 2019, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) warned Nigerians to be careful when buying Ponmo.

NAFDAC DG Moji Adeyeye said their investigations revealed: “Unscrupulous businessmen and traders are now diverting animal hides meant for industrial use into the food chain for consumption”.

Although, different health experts have argued for and against the nutritional value of Ponmo, it has not stopped those who love it (Ponmo) to stop consuming it. In fact, it has become a daily staple delicacy for consumption.

But what are the hazards attached to eating Ponmo:

1. Most of these animal hides are meant for industrial use. The hides which are meant for industrial use, have found their way into the food market. It is therefore harmful, unsafe and unfit for human consumption.

2. Some of the animal hides are sometimes pre-treated with industrial chemicals, which are not of food grade and are toxic and injurious to human health.

3. The imported animal hides are meant for industrial use by leather industries for the manufacturing of items such as shoes, bags, belts and others.

4. Two likely causes of importing and buying the ponmo are that it is cheaper than the ones produced and sold locally. The importers therefore feed on the ignorance of Nigerians who are unable to distinguish between the one fit for consumption and the harmful one.

5. Livestock farmers are advised to note that industrial animal hides cannot and should not be used in the manufacture of animal feed.

6. Health hazards inherent in the consumption

You’ve No Right To Respond If Policeman In Uniform Slaps You, Force PRO Tells Nigerians

The Police Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said no Nigerian has the right to confront policemen or retaliate, even if the cop slapped a ‘civilian’.

Speaking through his Twitter account, the Force PRO advised any such victim of Police brutality to rather file a complaint with the law enforcement agency.

He said: “Even if a policeman in uniform slaps a civilian, the civilian has no right to retaliate. More so, if he’s in the uniform, it’s an act of disrespect to Nigeria to beat an officer in the uniform.

“The disrespect is not to the policeman but to our nation and it’s a crime as enshrined in our criminal laws.
